Sleaze!! Not our new labour party. Not a fortnight into the new labour term in office comes the first official allegations of sleaze within the party? Mohammed Sarwar, the newly-elected member for Glasgow Govan and Britains first Muslim statesman is accused of bribing a fellow MP to ensure his own party seat whilst trying to discredit another MP. Blair who publicly trumpeted the new labour as the party which was to stamp out sleaze from the political arena barely got his arse saggy in the top chair of the country when the story hits the headlines. Apparently some of Scotland’s labour party MP’s seem to have waylaid the normal democratic electoral process in favour of a more capitalist approach? It was alleged that Mohammed Sarwar slipped a bung to fellow Muslim MP Badar Islam for the control over the marginal seat? It does give the impression that certain Muslims and Christians with political fever running through their veins share the same traits of greed and ignorance when a position of power is up for grabs! Five grand is five grand no matter which god is prayed to? So Mr Sarwar is summoned to Downing Street to face labour’s chief whip Nick Brown. But the outcome of the meeting in which the labour party decide to stick by Sarwar until the investigation is complete outrages the conservatives. The recent past saw Blair as the newly elected labour leader in a similar sleazy incident screeching like a banshee for the head of conservative Neil Hamilton during the cash for questions allegations before any formal investigation had begun! Blair and Straw (both lawyers) as opposition leaders are willing to have MP’s hung drawn and quartered without a trial but as soon as they are in office, resort to the letter of the law??
